How to Tell Ur Parents...

The best way is to be candid and tell them the truth (who is easier to talk to first mom or dad). A lot of parents will blow their top to start with - don't let this get you down (well not too bad) because most will come round and cool off shortly.

Good luck and deep breath...

I don't know who I would tell first, cuz my dad doesn't say a hell of a lot, so I wouldn't know how he's feeling, but my mom would probably kill me... One of my best friends told me that if I ever needed to, I could come live with him in ottawa and he would take care of me...I don't know what i'm gonna do. My mom always said I shouldn't have kids before 25.... Plus, my dad doesn't even know about the last bf I don't think.... I never told him....But my mom might have, I don't know.

I called my mom on the phone and told her, she wasnt happy at first but now she just loves mackenzie to death, she ended up tellin my dad and he loves my daughter also. Its best just to tell them the truth and dont hide it. I thought my parents would kill me but they took the news better than I thought they would. Good luck

Thanks i'm sure they would be ok with it eventually, but after I find out whether or not I actually am, I think I might wait til I go home for christmas to tell them. I think i'd rather do it in person....I just don't know how they'll react at first...

Yeah, best make sure first lol you don't wanna go through telling them then have to..... Untell them that would be so hard to do.
Do you want to be pregnant I mean were you ttc?
Good luck

Oh man---im glad you posted this, very good question! When I found out, I think I was more scared about telling my parents more than anything else. They are very strict catholics and expect a lot from me and my sister (who is 1. I told my sister, and it was right before she was supposed to go off to college this last semester, so she actually wanted me to wait to tell them until after she left (lol..Ha! She still had 3 weeks before she left for school) she just didnt want to deal with their wrath. Anyway, I went no more than a week before I couldnt deal with it anymore, called my mom up and told her straight out. She made me call my dad and tell him too. Very hard thing to do. Specially when you ahve parents like mine. Oh believe me, they were mad for a week or two, told me what they thought and what I should do (wanted adoption) but I stuck up for myself, told them how things were going to be, what I wanted with this, and now they are nothing but supportive. Good luck hunny, everything will be ok. Your parents love you no matter what, that will never change.

[quote="justacanadiangirland no I wasn't ttc... Although it's definitely not unwanted if I am pregnant...[/quote]

i know exactly what you mean - that was me too.

Wow!! Sounds like me and my sister!! The thing is, when we were in highschool, I was always always the bad one. Didnt get good enough grades, snuck out of the house, got 3 minor in possesion of alcohol (mips) (lol..I dont know how I managed that one) and was with the guy they never wanted me to be with. My sister on the other hand, did some drugs (i was never into drugs) and got away with it because my parents were so focused on me and my troubles. So she has always been the perfect one. Then I get pregnant...Geesh...To top it off. However, I know they still love me just as much, and cant change what decisions I make. You have to think this way. You are you, even if it is not what they want

Oh opps I thought you already knew you were pregnant. Well good luck to you!! Do you have a supportive boyfriend to go thru all this with?? Let me know what happens with the test!! Worry about that first, then your parents. Your parents will always be your parents, and 20 years down the road, you will have forgot all about this worrying you put yourself through!! Good luck hunny!

No, unfortunately, I don't have a supportive boyfriend. That a-hole accused me of sleeping around and doesn't talk to me anymore, not that I care... But yeah, I don't see how he can accuse me of that when he knows he's the only one i've been with...!**@!...Anyways, I have a lot of supportive ppl in my life who can help me through this, I don't been him.

Im sure he is in denial about the fact that he may be responsible for being a daddy soon. Its very scarey, and unfortunately young guys act upon this imaturely. But you are right, you dont need him anyway. You will be just fine no matter what happens from here on out!

Yeah well, my ex was all keen on being a good daddy when he had kids since his dad was never around, and now that he might have the chance, he runs, but that's fine, I don't need my baby having an immature father around who can't face his own problems. Plus, I have so many men in my life who support me and love me that my baby would never be without a father-like figure...I'm very thankful for that...

Whatever you do just dont wait until it becomes noticable, like kia said deep breath and they'll love you no matter what
